I find this an interesting discussion (forgive my use of laymen terminology and not being technically minded and a complete novice in this field of understanding), so from what I understand a shortened ( preferably progressive) rebound spring, all other things being in good order, is all that is really necessary to improve the front suspension compliance and ride. Does a shortened rebound spring in any way effect the ride height?
If I wanted to say raise the ride height and improve the ride comfort how would I go about it at the front, as ground clearance is always an issue fully loaded, I'm more interested in outright touring comfort than out and out handling but would not want to compromise either too much.. The thought of having to adjust shocks for each different type of journey, is not something I would look forward to.
I have a 2012 Plus 4 sports, so from what I've read so far at the rear the condition of the leaf springs is far more critical to the cars road manners. I've over the years heard mention different numbers of leaves in the springs and having mention of using the 4 seater springs, having had a Roadster 4 seater, I wasn't to impressed with that set up at all, as I felt the power overwhelmed the rear setup too easily. So what is the best number of leaf springs and their rating for my setup and most likely the best rear suspension setup I should look to achieve. I must admit the current standard setup (only covered 5k miles) is pretty compliant but that will change with time. I don't have BRB's fitted and have found them when fitted to improve the front end feel under braking, but on both Morgans they have been fitted too, it has restricted the turning lock is there any workaround to that/or a question of who supplied the BRB.
I appreciate there are many varied views in this, but would appreciate your input.
